Advanced Floatation Tank System , The Pathfinder is fully-automated and incorporates on-board stereo sound, video and aromatherapy systems. A real treat to soothe the senses!
Prices range from $10,000 - $18,000.

Floatation is based on a scientific approach to deep relaxation called Restricted Environmental Stimulation Technique or REST. Floatation REST shields body and mind from external "environmental" stimulation. This reduces their workload by up to 90%, conserving vast amounts of energy which is then re-directed inwards. The effect is called the parasympathetic response, or Relaxation Response.

Robert's Hot Tubs oval hot tubs are individually crafted from the finest clear heart redwood and hinoki available (a variety of other cedar's are also available).

The smaller 'soaking' tubs come pre-assembled, while the larger tubs come 'knocked down' and are easily shipped, and installed in any location by following our simple step by step assembly instructions.

The hot tubs are available individually with or without benches, or as complete systems containing virtually everything necessary to put you into bubbling hot water (except for the water). There are a wide variety of sizes (and prices). The oval hot tubs run from $1,449 to $4,129 depending on size.

The oval tub is an excellent inexpensive substitute for the traditional Japanese ofuro.
